Chapter 2315 - 2308: Treating a Strange Disease
Leng Qingqian bit her lip lightly behind him. This bastard is indeed as rumored, a complete philanderer who forgets himself at the sight of beautiful women; just the night before last, he told her her hands were the most beautiful.
"Friends from Huaxia, you’ve come at just the right time. I happen to have a tricky patient here that even I’m at a loss with," Dong Yin suddenly said.
"Oh? What kind of illness is it that even a beautiful lady like you can’t cure?"
"Follow me."
After everyone settled their luggage, they were led by Dong Yin to a ward. The patient was not lying on the bed but was seated gracefully on a stool, hands gently clasped and resting elegantly on her waist. Apart from that, there were two other Doctor Dongyins in the ward.
On the surface, there seemed to be no symptoms at all, but when Wang Dadong opened [the door], he was shocked.
"Meishu, these are friends from Huaxia; they are here to treat you."
"Hello." Meishu greeted the crowd, maintaining the pose she struck when they first entered, unmoving like a statue.
"Brother Dong, why isn’t she moving?" King Kong whispered.
"It’s not that she doesn’t want to move, she just can’t. Her muscles and tendons have turned into bone."
"What, could this be the world-famous Stoneman Syndrome?" King Kong was somewhat shocked.
Stoneman Syndrome causes the muscles and tendons of the body to gradually ossify, leading to immobility until the body resembles a sculpture.
"That’s right, it should be," Wang Dadong nodded lightly.
"Damn, looks like they’re trying to give us a tough challenge, huh?" This disease is as hopeless as a terminal illness, and there’s no cure for it. King Kong’s eyes revealed a hint of regret because the patient was very beautiful, with an impressive figure, comparable to Dongyin and perhaps even more beautiful than her.
"Does Miss Leng know what her illness is?" Dong Yin asked. In fact, Dong Yin should already know Meishu’s illness and was deliberately making things difficult for Leng Qingqian.
From appearances alone, it couldn’t be detected.
However, Dong Yin underestimated the Huaxia prowess in observation and examination, as Leng Qingqian immediately identified Meishu’s condition.
"If I’m not mistaken, Miss Meishu should be suffering from progressive ossifying myositis (the medical name for Stoneman Syndrome)," Leng Qingqian said calmly.
"That’s correct, but how did Miss Leng know?" Dong Yin was surprised. After all, based on the appearance alone, even she couldn’t tell Meishu’s illness, yet Leng Qingqian identified it within a few minutes of entering, without interacting with Meishu.
Leng Qingqian said, "It’s simple, this sitting posture, while elegant, is uncomfortable. An ordinary person wouldn’t choose to sit like this. Also, if you look at her shoes, there isn’t a speck of dust, indicating her legs can’t move."
Dong Yin nodded, "What you said is correct, but just based on these two points isn’t enough to diagnose Meishu’s condition."
"Yes, the key to identifying Miss Meishu’s condition is that her heartbeat is significantly slower than usual, which is generally only found in athletes or people who are asleep. Since Miss Meishu is neither, I guessed that perhaps her body is ’asleep.’"
"Impressive!" Dong Yin clapped his hands.
Being able to hear someone’s heartbeat from two meters away is challenging enough, and discerning illness from the heartbeat is even more difficult.
Wang Dadong also showed a slight look of surprise. He already knew Leng Qingqian had an extraordinary sense of hearing but didn’t expect she could hear someone’s heartbeat from two meters away.
"Just a minor skill."
"Then can Miss Leng cure Meishu’s illness?"
Leng Qingqian shook her head, "I’m sorry, this condition is a world-recognized difficult disease, and I am not very confident."
"Oh? It seems Huaxia’s medical skills aren’t that impressive." Doctor Dong Yin said with disdain.
Wang Dadong immediately replied, "Qianqian only said she’s not very confident, not that she can’t cure the patient."
"Wang Dadong..." Leng Qingqian was a bit anxious. Although she said she wasn’t confident, she actually meant she had no confidence at all. After all, it was her first encounter with this illness, and she didn’t know if the Inverse Dragon Needling Technique would be effective, especially since she could only perform the second needle of the Reverse Dragon.
If she could perform the third needle of the Reverse Dragon, maybe she’d have more confidence.
Unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t forcefully use the Inverse Dragon Needling Technique casually.
Wang Dadong waved his hand, interrupting Leng Qingqian, and continued, "We need to determine a treatment plan first. Beautiful sister, can we have some preparation time?"
Dong Yin nodded, "Of course."
Returning to the dormitory arranged by Dong Yin for Wang Dadong, Leng Qingqian looked a bit displeased, "Wang Dadong, why did you say that? I’ve only heard of this disease and am not confident in curing it. Are you trying to embarrass me?"
Wang Dadong poured a glass of water for Leng Qingqian and smiled, "Don’t worry, if I say you can cure it, then you can cure it. Don’t be fooled by Dong Yin’s courteous demeanor. Once she finds out we can’t cure the patient, who knows how she might humiliate us. We must cure Meishu’s illness."
"Easy for you to say. If we can cure it, great, but I have no confidence."
"Don’t worry, you have me, right? Just follow my instructions later, and you’ll be fine." Wang Dadong said with confidence.
They soon returned to the ward.
"Miss Leng, are you ready?"
Leng Qingqian nodded.
"Then let’s begin the treatment."
"The process may be a bit bloody. If anyone can’t handle it, they may leave." Leng Qingqian said, scanning the room.
"Don’t worry, we’re all doctors here. We’ve seen all kinds of gruesome scenes. Miss Leng, just go ahead confidently," Doctor Dong Yin said.
Leng Qingqian took out two Profound Ice Dragon King Needles, originally a pale blue color, now turned somewhat golden yellow.
She inserted one needle into Meishu’s shoulder junction point and another directly into the top of her head.
Just when everyone thought this was it, Leng Qingqian suddenly pulled out a dagger and plunged it into the muscle group of Meishu’s arm!
They watched as Leng Qingqian swiftly removed all the muscle tendons from one of Meishu’s arms with incredible precision.
And Meishu appeared to feel no pain whatsoever.
"What are you doing!" The two Doctor Dongyins were shocked and tried to stop Leng Qingqian immediately.
But Dong Yin gestured for them not to act rashly.
Leng Qingqian repeated the process, quickly removing the muscle tendons from Meishu’s other arm.
Then she moved on to the legs, shoulders, and neck.
The bloody scene made even these seasoned surgeons feel a churn in their stomachs.
